My mother and step dad like our idea

My mother and step mother like our idea my husband and I thought of.We have a cuss jar which anyone caught saying a cuss word puts a dollar in.My husband Charlie and I do not need our 8 and 10 year old sons including our adoptive 8 year old twin daughters to learn this foul langauge.My husband and I came up with this 3 years ago.Luckily my 16 year old son Kevin knows how to control it and have not caught him doing this yet,he is showing the respect to his brothers and sisters this way.My mother and step dad are having a problem with this at their house and decided on this idea.

It's a good idea, but they will learn it other places... Not sure what kind of school they are in but my kids were taught some pretty nasty things that I didn't even know what they meant and that happened in 2nd grade. :(

I'm thankful that swearing isn't really something we've ever had a problem with. I'm not saying it doesn't ever happen but it's not often. My MIL though, every other word out of her mouth is a cuss word. She's not about to admit that she needs to change that though.
